How Is The Influence Student’s Interest In Mathematics
To The Result Teaching Learning
INTRODUCTION
The meaning and essence of learning as a process of building a meaning / understanding of the information and / or experience. The process of building meaning it can be done by the students themselves or with other people. The process is filtered by perception, thought (the initial knowledge), and students (Indra Jati Sidi, 2004:4). Learning is not a process of absorbing the knowledge that is so derivative of teachers. Really, the results of test different students receive instruction in the same, from the same teacher, and at the same time.
Learning that will bring meaningful students in the learning experience memorable. Experience gained students will be more effective if the learning process of obtaining the result of understanding and their own invention. In this context, and students have to do it alone. The process of learning that takes place involving the students themselves fully to formulate a concept. The involvement of teachers only as a facilitator and moderator in the process.
Theoretical framework
In a research, there are two methodology which is always used such as a quantitative research methodology and qualitative methods. As pointed out by Orlikowsky and Baroudi (1991), a quantitative research methodology is appropriate where quantifiable measures of variables of interest are possible, where hypotheses can be formulated and tested, and inferences drawn from samples to populations. Qualitative methods, on the other hand, are appropriate when the phenomena under study are complex, are social in nature, and do not lend themselves to quantification. Typically, qualitative methods are used when understanding the cultural context from which people derive meaning is an important element of a study. Such cultural context is usually not susceptible to quantification and aggregation and is, therefore, usually ignored in quantitative studies. Yet failure to understand cultural context may deprive the researcher of a real understanding of the problem at hand (Kaplan & Maxwell, 1994).
In teaching laerning special for mathematics psychology, a quantitative research methodology is often used to know “ How is the influence student’s interest in mathematics to the result teaching learning?”
From both of them, the people are often use quantitative methods to observe something. Because quantitative methods are well defined and easy to validate, it has not been a difficult problem, historically, to fit these methods into a single semester course. In quantitative research, observations are reported in aggregate quantitative form. Formal hypotheses are posed that are tested and either accepted or rejected. To conduct quantitative research implies the need for very precise identification and definition of variables and the ability to operationalize them in such a way that numbers can be attributed to them--e.g., age, GRE, opinions on satisfaction, liking, and so on. Admittedly, this is often difficult because many variables may be relevant. Fidel and Soergel (1983) identified more than 200 variables that affect just the online bibliographic search process. However, if the variables of interest have been identified and operationalized and a data gathering scheme has been devised, the researcher can design the study and rely on well established and accepted criteria for judging its validity. In other words, much can be said about the validity, reliability, and generalizability of the study from the design alone.
The ability to solve problems without the rules that determined that human life can hold with fair and reasonable with life skills without the pressure.
According to Sumadi Suryabrata (1987: 7), the results of quality education can be influenced by environmental factors, instrumental, and psychological conditions. The low results of students studying physics can be influenced by several factors. According to Sumadi Suryabrata (1984: 249), these factors are:
1. Factors that comes from the students themselves outside the social factors and non-social.
2. Factors that comes from the students themselves in the physiological factors and psychological factors.
3. The national education in Indonesia is not in accordance with the conditions expected. As the goals of national education is education that treats students as individuals have special characteristics independent. Along with the educational mission of the national education efforts to apply the function, national education goals. Education works to develop national capacity and establish the nature of civilization and the dignity of the nation in order to improve the nation, aims for the development of potential students to become people who believe, and desires to God, have a noble, say, creative, independent and become citizens democratic and responsible (Siswanto, 2007: 2).
A teacher, other than the duty to transfer knowledge, is also obliged to increase student learning outcomes. Not a few teachers who just fulfilled the tasks surprising, without trying to help students overcome the difficulty of learning-students. Teachers needed is a professional teachers who are able to manage the process of learning. Meanwhile, when the review of the factors students, according to Sumadi Suryabrata (1995: 249) students have problems that arise both from the students themselves and students from outside the self. The students themselves, for example they are reluctant to learn, have no motivation to learn, have a problem with the family and so forth. The problems that come from outside the students themselves, for example, learning atmosphere that is less support and influence of our friends.
In general, students experience difficulty in learning mathematics, so that teachers are required to provide lessons of mathematics fun, so do not give students the impression that the lessons of mathematics is frightening, but otherwise happy students in learning mathematics. In mathematics lessons most students only pay attention when the students and not necessarily what the record was delivered or not teachers understand what is delivered by teachers, although they are reluctant to ask.
Therefore, the selection and implementation methods of teaching strategies must be in accordance with the situation and needs so that students behave active. For example, teacher give chance students to develop whatever which is own them and student can learn to focus, concentration on learning materials
Each teacher has finished delivering the subject matter, students are given training breakthrough in the form of questions and explanations. Because the training is not a matter of splitting the form of options so students have the opportunity to complete the appropriate way of living. One of the lessons of mathematics at the High School students are involved to discovery a solve problems that are creative and bring the power and ability imagination.
Learning is a process carried out by every man to get change, which means that throughout his life. Learning is an activity that requires a certain meaning and purpose to be running with good objective study will affect the way students learn. Method learning is a good regularity. A student must follow in the regular lessons., Learning materials should be learned each day. Many students that mempuyai customs delay temporize study period. Lessons may not fit in a short time, how he learned it severity. Even if the finished learn, lessons that will not be covered by both. Therefore, the high frequency of learning and will regularly provide a better learning results.
Thinking Framework
Mathematics is a lesson that needs to be taught to children, because mathematics is a basic knowledge of science and the other always used to the universities. By studying mathematics we expected to be a zealous man, critical, logical and responsible. Results learn mathematics is to learn the results obtained by students after he engaged in learning about mathematics in time and a certain unit. To get the results of the study matematka both the students must learn seriously. Student can mathematics when he possess the diligent training, so he has a proficiency in a matter of splitting. To get the result they needed a good way to learn better. One of the factors that support a better way to learn is the time to study the remains and continuous, with the way students learn this frequency is high. In learn mathematics, students need to learn that a high frequency. With many on the training and learning materials are often repeat the mathematics can be mastered and become subjects of interest. Therefore, suspected by the high frequency study will provide the results of the study also high.
Hypothetical
Based on the study of theory and framework of thinking, the hypothetical can be formulated as follows:
H0 : There is no relationship between the frequency of study or training mathematics with the results of the study math students.
H1 : There is a relationship between the frequency of study or training mathematics with the results of the study math students.
